About Tallowood Steiner School
Tallowood Steiner School is a growing, independent school located in the beautiful rural setting of Bowraville, NSW.
We aim for an enlivened education based on Rudolf Steiner’s philosophy and adapted to meet the unique context of our natural environment and school community.
We provide dynamic learning opportunities through an integrated curriculum, cultivating a healthy life of imagination, connection and moral development. We encourage age-appropriate levels of individual responsibility from Kindergarten to Class Six, as they learn to work for the collective whole and celebrate diversity.
All integrated key learning areas are enriched with the arts, music, drama, creative movement, outdoor education and sport. Learning differentiation, assistance and individual tuition is enabled through our specialist and support programs. We aim to assist children to grow as people who are able to feel deeply, think clearly and communicate effectively.
Future directions for our school are based on developing connections with our local community and our natural environment - working towards sustainability for all children.
Learning environment
We have five classrooms and two office buildings, an undercover basketball court, sheltered climbing playground, Mother Mulberry tree, raised garden beds, and a dedicated learning space equipped with work benches, vices, tool storage and a wet area.
Hours of fun are had in our new Kindergarten Nature Play Area, complete with a hobbit hole, sandpit, climbing frame, mud kitchen and water play.
Mud-brick buildings complement the beauty of our natural environment.
Class Sizes
Tallowood manages class sizes by ensuring a balanced and informed approach when considering enrolments. This provides the teacher with a thorough understanding of each individual student's needs thus, enabling a healthy amount of individual attention to each child’s learning needs.
Parental Involvement
At all year levels, we invite and encourage parents to contribute to the children’s learning experiences, and any area of expertise that may be offered within our curriculum framework.
Seasonal Festivals
One of the delightful aspects of community at Tallowood Steiner School is the sharing of four seasonal festivals across the school year.
